fertilizer

[Charney]

I am putting together a planted 120g. It will have mostly cryps, anubias, and java fern. What do people recommend as a good "maintenance" fertilizer? I was going to buy some of the seachem flourish stuff, but didn't realize how many options there are out there. Also are the liquid fertilizers better then the tablets? Thanks

With those plants and depending on the amount of light you'll have, you may not even need to fertilize. Flourish is a good start, though.

Also are the liquid fertilizers better then the tablets? Thanks

Tabs are more for fertilizing the roots, liquids are for the entire water column. Your crypts are the only thing you have that may require tabs, but that would depend solely on your light levels.

flourish really isnt that great of a option. you spend all that money on water. if you really are going to do ferts you should get dry ferts. a lot cheaper and last longer.

on the other hand like schaadrak said you prob dont need anything and if you do maybe some root tabs for the crypts since they are heavy root feeders.
